Professional golfer Bill Haas was hospitalised but escaped serious injuries following a crash in Los Angeles that killed the driver of the Ferrari he was riding in and injured the driver of another vehicle, officials said on Wednesday.

The two cars collided in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood around 6.30pm local time on Tuesday, according to a LAPD spokesperson. A third vehicle driven by actor Luke Wilson, star of films such as Legally Blonde and The Royal Tenenbaums, was clipped by the Ferrari, Stoughton said. Wilson was not hurt.
